Oh Tim how wonderful! I am of Lebanese descent and you made me cry! My Grandmother would cook and feed my Dad and all of us with the wonderful foods ! She was amazing and would make the neighborhood smell of Syrian bread every Saturday morning. The tabouli, Za tar bread, kousa( stuffed squash with ground lamb and rice) , makes me cry for home. Lebon is how they pronounced the yogurt with mint. Thanks for sharing and helping me remember home!

The food here was absolutely delicious. I must say, I visited a middle Eastern buffet in Toronto that offered fresh zatar bread straight out of the oven and onto your table. The best I've ever had😋

Good food like this has to touch to be enjoyed properly. Looks so good. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos Tim! You’re such a delight

You are a great ambassador for Canada. What a wonderful buffet.

I love how you acknowledged Ramadan. Although I am not a Muslim and don’t celebrate Ramadan, several of my coworkers are and it’s been wonderful learning about the history behind Ramadan, as well as their fasting traditions and celebratory traditions.I imagine it must be difficult for people to fast from sunrise to sunset, and it is a great sign of their devotion to God. The fact that you acknowledge and accept these traditions, although they are not yours, makes me think that you are very inclusive non-judgmental and accepting person. It is important to acknowledge the religions and traditions of everyone. Ramadan Kareem to all our Muslim brothers and sisters and great job to you Tim, as always on your wonderful video! 😊😊😊

Lovely Iftar buffet. The lamb looked amazing. Forget the crab buffets, this is my kind of eating. Even the bread looked amazing. The circular dessert looked great too.

Food and decor is beautiful. This is a refresh from the Western style buffets you've shown Tim!!

Looks & sounds delicious! You are incredibly kind to address the anxiety some people experience when their various food touch. I've never had goat, but you make it sound appealing. Many blessings to you!

Tim u encouraged me to try a Iftar buffet. The food looked amazing delicious. I loved that drinks especially the apricot drink, I love apricots. The goat made my mouth water. The different rices looked delicious and moist. This was a great buffet, and watching u enjoy it so made my heart happy. Kudos to u!! Can't wait to find a restaurant that can produce these foods after Ramadan. Great job.🤗

Hi Tim Wow, i haven't seen you so relaxed in a long time, most of all, thank you for describing the flavors of the dishes. I live in South Africa, in the Western Cape. And to me, most of the dishes that you are eating is literally foreign. Like the first drink you had? I have no idea what that is. To me it looked like a soda. Keep it up Tim, and thank you for being much more relaxed. Love your videos. Cant wait to see where your going next. Be safe and God bless.

When I'm at a buffet I always put food on top of each other. Most of the time the combination of different items make them taste even better 😋

Absolutely an awesome middle eastern buffet. Very nice spreads. It worth every penny. I love all their traditional like home made foods. I will definitely pay a visit when I go to Toronto next time. What I really like about your videos, is the way you represent and respect other cultures. I’m not Muslim, but I’m very familiar with their traditions due to having close friends and coworkers.

I was unaware what vimto was but found out its the juice of grapes, raspberries, and black currants flavored with herbs and spices...sounds delicious, refreshing and exotic❤

@Lisa Goranson I did see him use a napkin in the video. In the last video there were comments from people saying to eat Indian food with your hands. I commented saying that it seems uncivilized and unsanitary to use your hands to eat a entire meal, because I recently saw Napalese people in a Nepal Restaurant eat with their hands. I realize it is their culture, but in this day and age it just seemed so backward and unsanitary to me!!!!! And most buffets at $65.00 would have seafood, but this Ramadan Buffet didn’t have seafood.
